Chapter 9 Thief

"Okay this is weird." Meghan frowned as she peered at the computer screen.

Spencer spun around and hurried over to her. "What?" He stepped up behind her and placed his hand on the back of her chair.

"All of the recent victims happen to be connected."

"How so?"

"They were all thief's." She tilted her head back and looked up at him.

"Shoplifting?" He frowned and raised his eyebrows.

She shook her head, her blonde waves bouncing as she did so. "No. There's nothing on their records about it, but the security videos at each of the places they were last seen show this." She clicked the enter button signaling the video to start.

"Watch." She mumbled, pointing to the brunette women on the screen. The video showed her walking up to the counter of a bank and speaking to someone briefly before that person walked off, leaving her alone. She looked around, seemingly harmless, as she casually leaned towards an older lady who was at the next desk. Carefully and slowly, the woman reached her hand in the old woman's purse and quickly drew back her check book and wallet. Stuffing them in her pocket, she waved to the person she'd sent off and made a hasty exit.

"Huh." Spencer exclaimed. She glanced over, noticing that he'd leaned down to her level and was staring at the screen, mouth agape. Slowly, he turned his head toward her and blushed, quickly leaning up and clearing his throat. "That's odd."

She smirked and nodded. "Mhm. You were pretty close to that screen. Guess you really do need glasses."

He looked down at his feet. "I know that they're terrible, but I really can't see certain things without them and I-"

"Woah! I'm not making fun of you!" She exclaimed, rising to her feet, now face to face with him.

"You-your not?" He stuttered, glancing at everything but her eyes.

"No. I just- well I kind of have a thing for glasses." She winked at his startled expression and propped her hand up on the table. "And I happen to think you look-"

"Excuse me." The sherif stuck his head, causing Reid to mentally curse him for his bad timing. "Need any help?"
